Trip Report

[straw hat]

Well, made my first trip to the lake today since early Dec. Still have to fish one-handed but it is better than not at all. I fished about 1 mile from CC. The water was stained, 45 degrees and with 2' clarity. A lot of fat bass at 7 to 10 ft. Most were 13 to 14 1/2". They were still pretty white colored but fought well. Caught 2 channels at 18' in the channel. The crappie were 7 to 10' deep in 20' of water. Most were small but caught 3 keepers. Had to quit early, my only good shoulder is wore out!! It just not use to all the work

Good to hear your up and running again, fishing always gets you well quicker.

I was up at CC on wednesday and had issues finding keeper crappie also. Caught about a dozen all short crappie suspended in about 18 fow, Also caught some keeper whites shallow 3-8 ft in the same area.

It is always better to fish anyway than not fishing at all

No rehab will be any more effective than a little fishing Straw Hat! Glad you were able to get out, I look forward to your future reports. I'll start heading back down in April when the campground opens, so will let you guys know where not to fish then. LOL

Great to see you back straw hat. Looking forward to being back on the lake soon also. Just don't know when I'll be able to fish again. Had an accident at work on the 23rd of february and crushed my left cheekbone and bottom of my eye socket. Doctors had to put in titanium plates. It is by the grace of God that i still have my eyesight. Said I would be off work several weeks and no lifting of any kind during this time. Guess we will just take the grandkids pond fishing and grandpa can bait hooks and untangle lines. Sometimes it's more fun watching them than actually fishing myself. Good luck on the lake.

Thanks guys. Really sorry about your face charliehorsejigs. You are right, it could have been a lot worse. I will say a prayer for you. i hope you heal fast. It looks like my fourth surgery will be on my right shoulder around early May. It looks like I will be taking my wife fishing this summer and watching her catch fish!!! I am sort of looking forward to it. Looks like I will hit the lake again Tuesday, will let you all know whats happening.
